3-way hardware-accelerated browser comparison (Chrome, Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 4)

Wish you would put Opera 11.50 in this test.Oh yes it is FAST and it Rocks.Fastest one I have ever used.So many features and options.

how do you do these tests wats the website



[chodaboy19]

This is a horrible test. You need to test the browsers individually. Wow, you have no clue what you are doing guy...

[9308323]

Dude tried this test on the Chrome 9 latest beta and Firefox/Minefield 4 pre beta 8: Google Chrome: 33 FPS

And Firefox: 94 FPS

I found about 50 different browsers at multibrowsers com

Uhhh thats not your GPU utilization. Thats CPU utilization RealTemp does not show GPU utilization. Just the temp..... notice how its lock step with CPU usage in the Task Manager. Overall this is a miserable comparison.

[avrilinblood]

your order of turning browsers on and off is BIASED, try twitching firefox first, or launching other browsers first

what you did was 3 2 1 / 1 2 3 in other way you back-traced your way through, creating the same threat utilization scenarios, so if you try to toy around with the order and measure every bowser isolated from one another, as well as in multithreaded environment

maybe for your next review, using later builds ;)

Downloadfailsquad. Opera is the fastests browser but it does not have GPU acceleration so once it has that expect innovation.

@ytvoice1 Opera broadened the scope of Vega in 10.5 (initially it was used only to render SVG, whereas now it renders pretty much all the graphics elements). At that time they had hinted that adding H/W acceleration support is the next step. So this is something I am definitely expecting in the future versions of Opera. However, I have no idea when they will finally uncork this feature.

Hey, nice video.

It's really cool to see all major companies "competing" against each other, so as end users we'll get a much better expierence.

Meh, Opera is faster in software than Chrome7 is in Hardware... You should have included Opera in the comparision to see how pointless these tests are...

[xVitehx]

@MegaClashcityrocker too bad Opera has been crashing like a sugar addict lately

[MegaClashcityrocker]

@xVitehx

Rock solid here. Can't remember the last time Opera crashed on me. Firefox on the other is constantly leaking memory and bloating itself, and always ends up in a crash. A few hours of browsing and Firefox needs a restart. Chrome, well I wouldn't use it because of the privacy problems it has.

@MegaClashcityrocker See the previous test that shows Opera quite far behind the hardware-accelerated browsers!

[aznlilboiz]

@MegaClashcityrocker opera is too slow

[htb2050]

I don't know which planet you are but your PC is one hell of a beast to run 4 browsers simultaneousness with hardwares acceleration.

[downloadsquad]

@htb2050 See my comment, re: computer spec :)

[wifiaero]

What kind of computer are you on ? I want to buy one as fast as yours

[downloadsquad]

@wifiaero An Intel i7 930 (overclocked to 3.8GHz), and an NVIDIA GTX 460 graphics card. Quite a beast :)

[mind1az]

indyan88 Opera software-only acceleration is.

[indyan88]

Excellent comparison. Now Opera, will you please hurry up with your h/w accelerated Vega.
